Horae in laudem beatissimae virginis Mariae, ad usum Romanum
Description
Backless binding. French (Lyons?), mid 16th century. Brown calfskin
with black and white onlays of small floral tools and interlacings.
On the front cover IENON, on the back BOYLEAW. An example of a
binder's showpiece: instead of a recognisable spine, the binder has
instead fashioned a gilt-edged trench, disguising the sewing
structure that holds the book together.
